      the reason I mentioned it was because Procharger tells everyone that a switch to solid floats, milling the choke housing, and jet changes will be all that's needed. I've been there, done that and it simply wasn't true for me or anyone I've done or participated in, which is several.

      A guy is better off spending $375 for someone like SDCE to fully mod your carb. I've had him do two for me in non-efi builds and both were spot-on right out of the box. Had perfect manners everywhere, actually ran as smooth as efi in my opinion. Just didn't get the mileage of a good efi system.

      This was no slam on you, you obviously have a handle on it. But most simply get frustrated trying to make their setup run right following ATI's advice, and there's almost always a lot more modding required. Making the decision in advance to get the carb correctly modded up front saves a lot of frustration and is well-worth the money.
